So the first time I did it there I was for 10 min struggling with the shifter until I figured out only reverse required some downward pressure on the shifter.

I guess I didn't pay close enough attention after all. By the time I cut the motor and coasted back into the driveway I had the shifting down.



I spent the weekend in JDH.... when my buddy "borrowed" his dads 289 Mustang -- and I "borrowed" my parents '63 Buick so we could drag race.... Funny -- the judge suspended my license for one year -- but since I was only 14 it really didn't matter did it?!?!?!? To this day I think the judge was dumber than a stump.
